This Christmas as I lay asleep

I see your face and my heart beats

In tender rhythms that express

The love that makes me happiest

 

Although you now are far away

Within my heart you always stay

No matter where I go this day

You're in my heart a gentle way

 

You are carried with great pride

With all the joy of love arrived

That finds us in a state of grace

Our spirits joined in love's embrace

 

The love I feel is never ending

In every season love extending

On Christmas and the days between

You occupy each precious dream

 

Remember that you're not alone

For no where in this world you roam

Without the love that's held steadfast

With every memory that will last

 

In prayerful thought and love that binds

Together we shall conquer time

Hours pass but love we share

I close my eyes and you are there.
